Friday’s 6.0-run total went over in two of the last three Rays games and three-consecutive Brewers games. Tampa Bay averaged 5.67 runs per game across that stretch, while Milwaukee averaged 6.3 runs per game, but both teams will deploy their aces in Game 1.

World Series MVP odds lean towards Milwaukee players, occupying five of the top six spots. Junior Caminero is the outlier with +800 legal sports betting odds and enters the World Series on a high note after his electric seventh-inning homer in Game 6 of the ALCS.
